Default $11 - Short stack play - Self evaluation off?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

UTG (t1175)
Hero (t1060)
MP1 (t1835)
MP2 (t1380)
CO (t2290)
Button (t1630)
SB (t2625)
BB (t1505)

Preflop: Hero is in UTG+1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG calls t100, Hero calls t100, MP1 calls t100, <font color="gray">MP2 folds</font>, CO calls t100, <font color="gray">Button folds</font>, SB calls t50, BB checks

Flop: (t600) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="red">Hero bets t960 (All-in)</font>

Okay, first off, I think my first mistake was not pushing pre-flop if I was going to be set on playing this hand. I'm not even sure a fold here would have been -EV. Yes, I'm down to 10xbb but QJs isn't that strong with how many were left behind me.

I think I got impatient and was irritated by two suck outs ealier in the game, and played recklessly.

I'm really working on reviewing my play and trying not to be results oriented. It's pretty damn hard!

So if someone can just let me know if my eval is close/on spot/way off, I'd appreciate it.

Fold preflop. Don't even think of shoving QJs from UTG+1 on a near-full table. Plus you're not that desperate with ~10x BBs.

As played, I think the shove is fine, you're not getting away from top pair here although with 6 players there's a reasonable chance that one of the limpers has something like KJ or JT.

Your PF call is very poor. You need to just fold PF.
